The interview process is an investment that you should be prepared for up front. Stryker takes great pride in hiring exceptional talent and aligning them with positions best aligned with their strengths, the team, and future growth. I've interviewed with Stryker both as an external candidate and as an internal candidate. It never gets easy. Be prepared and ready to discuss past performance, how you made an impact, how you build relationships, teams you've lead and problems you've solved. This is important at any step in the interview. As an external candidate I had the opportunity to connect for a quick 30 minute phone interview with a recruiter, was sent to the Gallup Behavioral Based Interview, then came on site for a full day, jam packed schedule of interviews. 8am - 4:30pm. (This has changed over time and most on-site interviews are targeted for 1/2 day schedule) Kudos to the team for recognizing I was a great fit for Stryker, but the position was not aligned with my passions. Within a week I interviewed for another role with a another division, the on-site process was similar with another full day of interviews. I was impressed by the energy and enthusiasm of each person I connected with. I learned a lot about the culture, team dynamics, and organization throughout the entire process. I felt like they were taking great care in making their hiring decision. I appreciate their foresight in knowing the original opportunity wasn't the best fit, and their commitment to connect me with a role that was truly aligned with my passions, talents and career goals. Since joining Stryker, I've had an amazing career and the interview process doesn't get any easier, but I'm happy that it's tough. When you get that next opportunity, you feel confident it's the right fit! Besides I like a good challenge!
